Vision of the Academy

Sustainable development is the only effective way to the solution of global ecological problems and sustainability science and education for sustainable development (ESD) are major tools for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and therefore of sustainability;

However, in our times and throughout the world, including in Georgia, the potential of science and education is not fully exploited for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), that are predominantly promoted through actions of campaign nature rather than through education and science;

Therefore, it is necessary to take further decisive actions in the forthcoming years in the sphere of science and education in order to ensure that sustainability science and education for sustainable development (ESD) play a key role in the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Environmental rights, when exercised and implemented effectively, have great potential to contribute significantly to the solution of global ecological problems (e.g. climate change) and therefore to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Consulting services play a significant role in promotion of sustainability, particularly by assisting the business community to align with international standards and practices in the field.

Mission of the Academy:

to set a good example in Georgia on how sustainability science, education for sustainable development (ESD), environmental rights, and consulting services can play a key role in the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and therefore of sustainability.
